He said he had good job and wasn't going
to lick anybody. We offered him $500.
II was at the Court House in the afternoon.
The injunction cases were in progress. I
saw Munchrath in the Court House and
George Trieber after supper at the Sioux
City National bank corner. I met Plath
Trieber, Munchrath, and two Germans. l
did not know the Germans then: l have since
learned they were Granda and Bismarck.
We talked about Haddock and Turner going
to Greenville for evidence Trieber proposed
to go and see how Haddock got evidence. In
the hack were Trieber, Peters, and I.
Trieber told the driver to go to Greenville
Peters got out of the hack and went into
the Greenville House and asked the pro-
prietor if a roam horse and buggy had been
there. We drove back to Junk's saloon and
got out and went in. Trieber paid the
driver. He got it of James Junk We got
out of the hack and went into the saloon.
Can't tell who went in first. We were there
three or four minutes. I saw Scollard,
Grady, Junk, and ArensdOrf. We went out
of the front door from the wholesale liquor
room, and when on the walk Bismarck came
up and said that the buggy had got back
We all walked down toward Water street.

theatrical manager, and at one time had

But mark You this. Four months
after the death of the youngest brother

ALCOHOLIC DRINKS.
General Greely's Conclusive Test-The
Superior Working Capacity of Men I'm
stimulated by Alcohol.

General Greely's Conclusive Test-The
Superior Working Capacity of Men I'm
stimulated by Alcohol.
Under the title "Alcohol in High
Latitudes," General A. w. Greedy has
an interesting article in the Foruna,
the object being to show that the use
of alcoholic drinks in Arctic explora-
ton has generally been proved either
unnecessary or mischievous. The fact
that tea and coffee, cocoa, etc., support
the system better and sustain the pow
ers longer than alcohol, has indeed
been frequently demonstrated, the En-
glish Arctic expeditions having ascer-
tanned it by practical experiments
long ago. General Greely's experience
is none the less valuable and his testi-
mony important, for the question of
the nutritive power of alcohol has
been and still is disputed obstinately.
OF the conclusiveness of the test here
made there can be no doubt. The men
cited by General Greedy performed the
hardest kind of work with the tenn
perature from zero to forty or fifty de-
grees below. They did this work with
out alcohol usually, and General Gree
ly is of the opinion that while a small
allowance of spirits may at times be
useful as a mental stimulus, it should
only be taken just before going to
sleep, and never during the progress of
work.
He cites instances where alcohol,
when taken during work, decidedly
diminished the strength and endurance
of the men. This would undoubtedly
be the testimony of all who have had
experience in the matter. Alcohol
taken during working hours produces
a temporary excitement and capacity
for labor; but this passes off soon. and
a reaction follows in which the
strength falls below the normal av-
erage, and distinct lassitude is felt.
There can be no serious question as to
the superior working capacity of men
unstimulated by alcohol! A cup of
good hot coffee in very cold weather
is worth a bottle of rum for sustaining
purposes. AS a rule, General Greely's
men learned to do without alcohol and
ceased TO care for it at all, so that sew
eral of them refused to drink the small
allowance which was served out only
once week. The question whether
the use of alcohol merely as an exhil-
arant is wise or necessary will no
doubt be answered variously. Pos
sibly more harmless substitute for
it might be found, but in any case the
fact seems to be established that, ex-
cept for this special purpose, it is more
of a hindrance than help to Arctic
exploration. And experience shows,
too, that if alcohol is taken at all, to
use General Greedy words, sit should
be taken only after the days work is
done. as momentary stimulus while
waiting for the preferable hot tea and
food; or, better, after the food, when
going to bed, for then it may quickly
induce sleep and its reaction pass I'M
felt" It might be added that the best
way to avoid the reaction altogether is
not to take alcohol at all.-M 7. Trib-

HAPPINESS OF FLIGHT.
The Pure Enjoyment Which Birds Take
IN Their aerial Excursions,

The Pure Enjoyment Which Birds Take
In Their aerial Excursions.
May we not infer that all animals
whose muscular development is great
er in proportion to their bulk than
that OF man should derive from its
exercise greater intensity of pleasure,
greater absolutely in proportion to the
attachments and less interfered with
by the greater muscular ease with
which they are accomplished. If this
is so the majority of the mammalia and
almost all birds should in their powers
of speedy movements on earth or lofty
flight in the air possess resources of
mental pleasure intense beyond ours
and less subject to be dimmed by the
pain of overstrained muscles. The
power of flight is without doubt ASSOC
ciated with pleasures which we can
not directly gauge or estimate, but of
the value of whichiour desires can give
us some idea. That birds distinctly
enjoy the, exercise of their powers there
can be no manner of doubt. Having
once acquired the power of flight or
inherited it from their sauropsidan an
cestor, they have developed it far be-
yond all the requirements of their in
dividual or specific life. If it were
not pleasurable, then flight would be
discontinued when it was no longer
necessary. But, as a fact, bird life
presents innumerable instances of the
maintenance of the powers of flight in
species to whose existence it is by NO
means essential The skylark does not
soar from mercenary motives; pigeons,
domesticated for generations, fly about
all day long. though they need to seek
neither food nor shelter. 1T is not nee
essary to watch birds on the wing for
very long to convince ones self that
the act of flight is one of pure enioy-
ment. that it is cultivated and adorned
with the refnements which character
lie an accomplishments Such is the
evolution of the tumbler pigeon, such
the more refined and mastery lowering
of some birds who possess the power Of
so balancing themselves on slanting
breeze as to remain motionless with re-
spect to the earth, without apparently
moving a wing or a feather, floating
all the time, still and calm. Nineteenth

NORTHERN PACIFIC LANDS.

Construction of the Law.

Secretary Lamar Reviews the COmpany's
Construction of the Law.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Secretary of
the Interior is preparing a decision relating
to the indemnity Withdrawals of the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company He reviews
at length the company's construction of
the law, which is in effect that its grant
was of the designated quantities of
land along the entire length of the road;
that though the road necessarily ran through
several political divisions of the United
States and Territories it was in no wise
controlled by such political divisions in its
rights, privileges and the franchises
acquired by its charter; that quantity
of land lost along the entire line
becomes the measure of indemnify
which is to be selected not in any
particular State or Territory, but anywhere
in the ten-mile limit of the indemnity belt,
which limit, like the grant, extends along
the entire line of the road from terminus to
terminus, and it can make no difference
whether the loss is in Minnesota or Wash
1ngton Territory the indemnity lands are
equally common to the whole road and
given to supply these losses.
The Secretary will not concur in these

nized the political divisions OF the States
and Territories when it gave the company
ten alternate odd-numbered sections of land
on each side of the line of the road when it
passes through State and twenty-mile sec
lions when it passes through a Territory.
The lien land is but the substitute of the
granted land, and the same boundary lines
apply to the one as to the other The same
distinction is preserved in providing for
an indemnity belt, less being allowed in
the States than in che Territories. The
Secretary will say that in his opin-
on the indemnity claims of the
company must be greatly reduced, and
it will not require all their vacant off-num-
bered sections within the indemnity limits,
but that there would be lands to restore to
the public domain. The Secretary will also
hold that the company is entitled to but one
indemnity belt of ten miles in width
